3 EDU-1: CREDENTIAL POINTS Credential points are awarded through the successful completion of a formal degree (note a) or certificate program offered by an accredited educational institution (note b). Procedure 1. Enter only the highest degree credential earned (e.g., Ph.D., M.S., B.A., or Certificate), year conferred, institution, and point value in the spaces provided below. 2. Attach documentation (e.g., official transcript and a copy of diploma/certificate if not listed on the transcript) Credential Values Masters Degree or Higher (e.g., M.A., M.S., or Ph.D.) Baccalaureate Degree (e.g., B.A. or B.S.) Associate Degree GIS Certificate (see Note c) 25 points 20 points 10 points 5 points Notes: a) Enter only the highest degree earned. s may be claimed in section EDU-2 for courses completed in this or other degree programs. b) No accreditation program currently exists specifically for GIS-related education programs. Most higher educational institutions in the U.S. are accredited, however, by one of the regional accrediting organizations associated with the Council for Higher Education Association ( c) Many higher education institutions confer GIS Certificates to students who complete a prescribed number of credit or non-credit courses. Requirements vary widely. Only certificates that involve a minimum of 400 hours of student activity qualify for Credential s. s for courses completed in fulfillment of GIS certificates earned in conjunction with or in addition to a formal degree may be claimed in the Course s section (EDU-2). HIGHEST CREDENTIAL EARNED YEAR CONFERRED INSTITUTION POINTS

4 EDU-2: COURSE POINTS PROCEDURE Course points are awarded after the successful completion of individual courses, workshops and other documented educational activities with subject matter that relates directly to geospatial information science or related technology, and applications. Note: If you have documented Credential s you can also document Course s for GIS-related courses (Note A) taken towards that credential. Procedure 1.) For courses offered by accredited educational institutions, enter year completed, department and course number, course title, number of credits or continuing education units (CEUs) earned (if applicable), and the duration (in weeks for a college course or in hours for a continuing education course) below. (See examples on form EDU-2). 2.) For courses offered by non-accredited educational institutions, enter year completed, course or workshop name, workshop provider, and the number of continuing education units (CEUs) earned (if applicable) below. 3.) For courses, workshops, or vendor training that do not offer credits or CEUs, enter the number of contact hours directly onto the form. 4.) Calculate Student Activity Hours: Calculating Student Activity Hours (SAH) for credit courses The formula is SAH = C 3 W where C is the number of credits per course, 3 is the standard number of activity hours per credit, and W is the duration of the course in weeks. For example, a typical 3-credit college course conducted during a 15-week semester earns 135 hours ( 3 credits 3 hours/credit 15 weeks = 135 activity hours. Calculating Student Activity Hours (SAH) for non-credit courses that award Continuing Education Units (CEUs) The formula is SAH = CEUs 10 where CEUs is the number of continuing education units per course, and 10 is the standard number of activity hours per CEU. Calculating Student Activity Hours (SAH) for non-credit courses that do not award credits or CEUs. The formula is SAH = Number of Contact Hours where participants directly earn the number of hours spent in class. 5.) Calculate Course s Sum all of the Student Activity Hours and enter that TOTAL at EDU-2. Divide SAHs by 40 (set value) and enter the result on the line listed as TOTAL COURSE POINTS. 6.) Attach documentation (e.g. transcripts, certificates of completion, etc.) 7.) Remember: All courses must be related to geographic information systems and geospatial technology. Courses in basic geography, statistics, geometry, etc. without a GIS or geospatial technology component will not be counted. Notes a) GIS-related Courses are defined as those whose subject matter is subsumed by the University Consortium for Geographic Information Sciences (UCGIS) Body of Knowledge plus computer programming courses. It is the responsibility of the applicant to justify the applicability of particular courses to the satisfaction of the GISCI Review Board. b) For non-credit courses and workshops for which neither credits nor CEUs were earned, Student Activity Hours should be documented by the training provider in the course description and/or certificate of completion. Prior to completing a course whose provider has not documented the course s Student Activity Hours, you should request such information from the provider.

TOTAL CONFERENCE POINTS Note: Conference Attendance claims do not need documentation. Although not mandatory, applicants are advised to submit proper documentation for all point claims, as undocumented claims may be scrutinized to a higher degree. Also, GISCI will conduct accuracy checks on certain applications to determine if undocumented claims are factual. If a claim is found to be incorrect or misstated the application will be rejected and a processing fee will be charged to the applicant.

8 EDUCATIONAL ACHIEVEMENT POINTS SUMMARY SHEET (EDU-S) Educational achievement points are awarded for credentials earned from accredited institutions (documented in section EDU-1), for relevant courses and workshops successfully completed (EDU-2), and for informal education acquired by attending professional conferences (EDU-3). The sum of points claimed on the three forms is the total number of education points earned (subject to approval by GISCI). Procedure 1) Complete forms EDU-1, EDU-2 and EDU-3. 2) Enter in the spaces below right the point totals calculated in each of the three sections. 3) Sum the three subtotals to produce the total number of education points. Education s Credential s (EDU-1) Course and Workshop s (EDU-2) Conference s (EDU-3) *TOTAL EDUCATION POINTS (EDU-1 + EDU-2 + EDU-3) = * = This total must be at least 30.0 to qualify for certification.

11 EXP: EXPERIENCE POINT PROCEDURE Use the EXP-W experience worksheets, EXP-P professional profiles and EXP-S summary sheet to document your GIS professional experience. The Experience Schedule (next page) defines the points allowed for GIS experience in three different levels of technical complexity and one bonus level for supervisory or management experience. EXP-W Worksheets help you calculate how many points you are allowed for each level worked and position held. EXP-P Professional Profiles require you to document your GIS-related duties and expand on your experience. EXP-S summarizes and totals your experience points. Following the schedule are examples to help you in completing the worksheets. To qualify for GIS certification, you must have a combination of at least four full-time equivalent years (4 FTE) of professional GIS experience. If you have met the minimum total points required for certification (150), but do not have 4 FTE of experience, you must wait until you have 4 FTE of experience and also meet the minimum Experience s required (60 points). This 4 FTE minimum requirement can come at any of the three levels of technical complexity. Procedures 1. Complete one EXP-W worksheet and one EXP-P professional profile for each position held. If using the electronic form, field points will automatically populate the appropriate EXP-P professional profile. 2. Organize the worksheets so that most recent position is listed first. List your next most recent position second, and so on until all positions have been recorded. This same order is duplicated for the professional profiles. 3. s are awarded for the number of years and fractions of years worked. Use the years and fractions of years in your point calculations. (one month = 0.08 years). One month is the shortest duration for which you may receive points. 4. FTE% (see examples) stands for full time equivalency percentage. FTE% is the decimal portion of time credited towards a particular experience level, and supported by the general and tiered description of GIS related duties sections. For example, in a GIS shop, an applicant might spend 80% of their time doing application development and system maintenance and 20% of their time doing data maintenance and update. It would be appropriate for the applicant to record 0.80 for "GIS Programmer or Similar" and 0.20 for "GIS Technician or Similar". In most cases, values entered in "%FTE" will sum to 1. %FTE cannot exceed In cases where an academic internship or part-time research is involved, the values in "%FTE" should sum to the appropriate proportion (e.g.: 0.50 for a half-time graduate research assistant, as appropriate). This proportional estimation can also be applicable to transitional positions or positions with split duties. For example, if an applicant spent 50% of their time in sales, and the balance (50%) of their time doing development work, it would be appropriate for the 0.50 to be applied to the category supported in the general and tiered description of GIS-related duties sections. Applicants claiming supervision bonus will sum Tiers 1-3 to get %FTE. 5. If claiming more than six positions, create and label additional EXP-W worksheets and EXP-P professional profiles as needed.
